Sprint announced Tuesday it will add 12 positions to its broadband services Support Center in Carlisle to help support the growing number of customers with Sprint's high speed data products.

The new employees will provide online technical support to Sprint's existing residential and small-business high-speed Internet customers and provide installation assistance for Sprint's new high-speed Internet customers.

Why did this get into the news?

I am pleased and interested to see this, but why did Sprint hiring 12 new online tech support agents make any news source???

Maybe because the Techs aren't going to be out-sourced?

Re: Why did this get into the news?

Is it so rare now-a-days to hire your own techs?

Where I work we are constantly hiring new people (although not creating new positions), we are raising head count by about 50 people over the next 6 months... This is not news. The only place you may notice it is the help wanted section of the local paper

Anyway I am just surprised to see any news source, even a local one, reporting on 12 new jobs for an established employer.

Re: Why did this get into the news?

I was surprised to see the article myself. Which is why I submitted to the News section in the Forum.

What I've seen is a lot of companies are now out-sourcing their Tech Support. Look at Earthlink and Dell, to name a couple.

Thats even hard to believe they are adding them to Carlisle. They just added 60 new reps to TAG in Florida. Not to mention Tarboro, NC lost all of their DSL Tech jobs to TAG.
